Well we are still a looooong way from being feature complete and from shipping. Give it time if the rumor was true.

If you want to get technical, this isn't exactly true... Panther was 'feature frozen' some time ago...

How much of those features are turned on and visible (in the WWDC build) is another story but the from the development side of things all the features that are destined for Panther are pretty much set in stone. A mass of Apple developers living on caffein highs (and little sleep) are now in the process of making all of the features work (and behave well will all the other features).

If you crawl into bed anytime before midnight take a moment to think about them still awake and hacking away on the Panther build somewhere in a little cube sized space in Cupertino.

Sorry...I haven't slept yet so I worded my response improperly. By feature complete, I meant, the features being usable, let alone buggy. There are tons of features that I am sure aren't totally or at all implemented. I mean, there is even a preference pane in the System Prefs taht says in big black type that this specific feature isn't implemented yet.
